Agency

About

Speedpool is an owner-managed communications agency based in the heart of Hamburg. Our home is motorsport but we’ve come to feel just as much at home on the pitch, the green, on water and in snow. The mix is right. In the team: young guns with wild ideas, seasoned campaigners with loads of experience and cool brains that bring them together: for the right strategy, the perfect look and professional execution. Get to know us – we enjoy working with nice people.

History

Five journalists with a passion for sports founded Speedpool GmbH in 1997. The small team has since grown into a line-up of around 30 permanent employees and a close-knit network of freelancers. Once the first agency to settle in Hamburg’s famous “Speicherstadt” historical warehouse district, we are now working a little further down the river Elbe: right in the heart of Hamburg. The city and Speedpool are well-matched: straight-forward, full of life and never a dull moment.

Team

On a tour of our floor you’ll meet editors, layout artists, illustrators, graphic designers, programmers, proof-readers and talented organisers. Plus trainees and interns of course for the challenges of the future – a well-gelled team in which every member pursues the same aim: to make projects that impress – and are fun – reality for our clients. The shareholders, Thomas Voigt (Managing Director), Stefan Pajung (Head of Media Production) and Mark Schneider (Head of Editorial Team) chart the course.

As well as delivering standard services such as the creation of mailing lists and media releases we develop customised concepts tailored to the relevant communications strategy and represent our clients at events around the globe – to make sure your messages reach your audiences instead of dropping out of the race somewhere along the way.

We offer 360 degree communication, develop campaigns, undertake the design, production and distribution – and, if desired, the media planning and booking. Just typical Speedpool: everything from under one-roof. From the classic printed adverts to Google AdWords.

Social Media

Information can be posted by anyone anywhere anytime. But if the use of Social Media channels is to successfully support your corporate communications you’ll need specific topic and strategy development, expert editorial work and professional dialogue control. We’ll be pleased to provide it. #speedpool
